But it’s also slower and duller, and whilst the skill tree is huge, it’s also kind of confusing and drab. I liked the skill gems thing, though, that was good.

Torchlight 2 – also much better value for money, but the same downside as far as I’m concerned. And I prefer Diablo’s cartoony graphics to Torchlight’s, they’re at once crisper and gloomier.

Loot 2.0 has improved Diablo III a lot, you might find it worth a second go, but it is much more expensive for a game that isn’t enormously better than those other two.

With competitors on the market which offer a more accessible, bite-sized and much cheaper alternative – I’m not sure Diablo III ever lived up to its full potential. I think Blizzard missed a trick with the game and should have taken a lesson or two from some of the game mechanics that were implemented in say, Torchlight 2 or Path of Exile.
